Hi all, The next Southampton Python User Group talk will take place next Thursday evening. This will be a bit more hands on than our previous talks, so it's best to bring a laptop if possible.
Continuous Integration with CircleCI Date: 6 p.m. 4th August 2016 Venue: Nuffield Theatre Room 1083 (6/1083), University of Southampton http://maps.southampton.ac.uk/ Speaker: Ryan Pepper, Alvaro Perez-Diaz, Uni of Soton As usual, refreshments will be provided before the talk, and everyone is welcome to join us in the pub afterwards. There will also be a chance to give brief lightning talks - perhaps about other tools for testing code. If there's something you'd like to tell people about, let me know! ---- Continuous integration (CI) is an integral part of modern software development. It is very useful to check that changes have not broken features in software in an unexpected way, and it would be very rare to find software developers based in companies not using at least some form of regular testing to ensure that regression does not occur. Major scientific software projects such as Numpy, Scipy and Jupyter are good examples of how to use CI in practice. In this talk, we'll give a brief introduction to continuous integration, how it can be used in scientific software development, and demonstrate how to set up CircleCI to automatically test an open source project which is written in Python and stored on GitHub. Bring a laptop with you if possible, to get the most out of the talk. _______________________________________________ python-uk mailing list python-uk@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk
